**Whispers of Resilience**

Stars blink softly in the velvet sky,

Echoes of laughter, a distant sigh.

In the heart's quiet chamber, shadows blend.

Fragments of joy and sorrow intertwine,

A river of time flows, a sacred line.

Tears fall not in defeat, but in grace,

A gentle release, a warm embrace.

In each drop, a story unfolds,

A tapestry woven with courage bold.

They cascade, then rest like autumn leaves,

Making way for hope, as the spirit believes.

And though they fall, they gather light,

In the dawn's embrace, making darkness bright.
